STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Vele's 10 targets and 88 yards in Week 1 make him WR2 if Olave misses time; sneaky WR3 play.

Vele emerged as the second pass-catching weapon in the Saints offense behind Chris Olave in Week 1. Before overtime, Vele had 10 targets, eight receptions, 88 yards, and one touchdown. Chris Olave was in and out of the medical tent all day, and Jordyn Tyson is on IR, leaving Vele as the clear secondary option. The Saints play the Ravens in Week 2 as 7.5-point underdogs and should play from behind all game. Kellen Moore runs the fastest offense in the NFL on a per-play basis, which should generate volume. If Olave misses any time, Vele elevates to WR2 status; otherwise, he is a sneaky WR3 play for Week 2.
